Behind the Scenes of Virtual Jihad IV–Jihadi Media: A Global Production of Local News

Eli Alshech & Jacob Apelbaum*
No. 592 - March 3, 2010

In the past two years there has been a surge in the quality and quantity of jihad media, as is evident from the numerous texts, films, and images distributed by Islamist websites on a daily basis.

What started as a small group of jihadi media organizations has, within several years, mushroomed into a vast network of regional jihadi media branches throughout the Islamic world, Asia, and Europe. Surprisingly, these secondary jihad news outlets, which claim to operate independently from each other and autonomously from the global major jihad news outlets, have exhibited no learning curve. On the contrary; the professional quality of their news productions is indistinguishable from that of most Middle Eastern mainstream broadcast media right from the outset.

Moreover, the films that they purportedly created on their own are uniform in both style and content and conform to existing commercial media standards.
The purpose of this article is to show that despite their implicit or explicit claims of independence, the jihad media outlets, whether global or local, are operating under an umbrella organization and coordinated media network which resembles a large news cooperation, rather than local grassroots jihadi cells.

Bet we're training a good number of them right smack dab in Hollyweird.

Have been crusing these sites....some really diabolical stuff these muslims do to each other not to mention other people. What a demented insane people they are. And the woman are as bad as the men!

Someone posted we should just nuke the muslim countries....if I wasn’t a Christian it would be easy to agree. It’s almost the only thing that will stop them. I think the most disturbing thing is how they truly celebrate what they do to one another....behead a person and they clap and celebrate...stone someone..shoot them...sexually assult them...doesn’t matter they have nothing but barbaric emotions.

Syria is also getting bolder as BO continues to more support for the muslim world than Israel.

He seems to be hung up on aggrandizing himself with Islam at any cost (including the alienation of American citizens and the huge number of Christians in America.)

Obama - US one of the largest Muslim countries in the world

Snip: Maybe he means if we added all Muslims in all 57 states...

Now before you start laughing at the stupidity of our president, I should point out that Obama is absolutely correct - if you take away the 27 countries in front of us who have a larger Muslim population than we do.

US one of the largest Muslim countries in the world

Snip: ......According to Surber, the US has an estimated three to eight million Muslims, less than one per cent of the world’s total and less than at least 23 other countries.

The average claim for the US Muslim population is about six million. The precise figure is difficult to get because it’s not included in US census data and many put the figure at much, much less.

But even if we assume there are six million Muslims in the US, that makes it only the 34th biggest Muslim country in the world – behind Indonesia, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Nigeria, China, Ethiopia, Algeria, Morocco, Afghanistan, Sudan, Iraq, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Uzbekistan, Yemen, Tanzania, Syria, Malaysia, Niger, Senegal, Ghana, Tunisia, Somalia, Guinea, Kenya, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Burkina Faso and Tajikistan.

May Day 2010 - A Cry to God for a Nation in Distress
When: May 1st 2010 - Starting at Sunrise (6:10 A.M. EDT) and finishing at 2:00 P.M.
Where: The Lincoln Memorial in Washington D.C.

Join with Christian leaders of all denominations who love God to humble ourselves, pray, seek the face of God, and turn from our wicked ways—individually and as a nation. Jesus will be front and center at May Day. Prayers will be offered in Jesus' Name!

*************************
I am not a Christian, but this is a wonderful undertaking and I support it wholeheartedly. A cry to G-d is desperately needed. Many Jewish groups are represented here as well.
If you love our country and you love G-d, this can only help because we surely need Divine Intervention as we have ever needed it before.

[caww]

Probably..nothing surprises me any more...the world is clearly going insane in so many ways! Worse our country was on a slippery slope of decay for many years...and I fear it will get worse yet as we are almost in freefall!

Good descriptive article by Paul Wiliams BUT Alan’s AntiMullah had political information and was putting out a warning about Fettullah Gulen as far back as April 2008! (smile)

Here are some links from AntiMullah that dealt with Fettullah Gulen the Turkish Khomeini:

...behead a person and they clap and celebrate...stone someone..shoot them...sexually assult them...doesn’t matter they have nothing but barbaric emotions.

The film "The Stoning of Saroya M" is a remarkable testament to that. We've been watching a large number of films from the Middle East and they are a far better education about the area than any textbook could ever detail. "Afghan Star" shows how a female singer who displays her hair and dances on stage is treated like a pariah for her unacceptable behavior. It's the stone age in 2010 (and sorry for the pun, but stoning is a distinct possibility).

[MestaMachine]

Yeah, FARS, me too, but no one wanted to know. Sometimes I think they STILL don’t want to know. It is extremely frustrating.
I wondered why Williams chose now to come out with this. Is something up? Or is it just to remain relevant?

[caww]

What a beautiful idea...might be too late if people aren't willing to change their behavior and attitudes toward the things of G-d.

I think of how often G-d warned Israel and time and again he rescued them...just as He has done for us in the past...but we were a believing nation then. People honored G-d and kids were taught about Him and what He taught to lead a good life. I just have the sense G-d has had enough and knows it will just be another cry for rescue rather than a turning to Him. He had a time line for Israel and their land was invaded....so to is ours.

Do you even remotely believe our Gov. will do anything to stop the “barbarians” from coming in here any more than Rome could stop them. History seems to so much be repeating itself in our country now. Every country and empire that turned from G-d fell. Should we expect anything more or less.

We have mass killings of the unborn...we allow homosexual practices to flourish and even encourage it to the point they are standing in leadership in our churches and attacking our children...and then we fling this crap in the face of G-d....and we dare ask for mercy on our country? Further we no longer protect our children, rather they are consistantly exposed to things at an early age that their tender eyes should not see let alone burned into their little minds...and we dare ask G-d to help this country?

[MestaMachine]

For those of us who believe, we dare risk it, because if we do not, there is nothing that stands between them and us but darkness.

BTW am familiar with Pocono area as a friend of mine once managed a business up there. Pretty secluded area overall...like country living of sorts. But is just miles from Wilksbarre...and Hazelton which at one time was a mafia filled community. I knew they had a problem with a huge mexican and otherwise population coming in to Hazelton and the mayor got headline news nationwide for going after employers who hired them.

[little jeremiah]

I support this and wish I could attend. I am a Hindu but there is only one Supreme Lord - and spiritual regeneration is needed desperately.

[caww]

Hopefully people will go there with humble hearts...I have certainly felt this for some time...but also anger that we just continue to see our nation slid further down the hole. As if no one knows where the brake levers are!

I am however convinced that the only way this freefall is going to get stopped is if G-d does intervien...for that reason and dispite my anger I will indeed pray with those there and on that day.

[MestaMachine]

You know what? I don’t think G-d looks at us and asks what our religious affiliation is. There is good. And there is evil. Your soul is what matters. not words or promises.How do you live your life? We have been given a standard. All of us. The one person you cannot lie to is yourself. Conscience is what separates us from animals and subhumans.

[caww]

Well it does look like they are going to declare Turkey an Islamic nation doesn’t it? Many were concerned for sometime this might draw closer to happening but I honestly thought it would not happen until they weren’t getting any traction on joining the EU...then they turned to the Islamic League for membership...I suspect part of the deal was to declare themselves an Islamic state.

[MestaMachine]

I could tell you some amazing personal stories about Faith and miracles, but this thread isn’t the place for it. I have been so very blessed. And I KNOW it.

Great graphic heads up courtesy MestaMachine but on AntiMullah bandwidth not hers (smile)
